Bohemian chic maybe? I don't know.... I normally don't dress like this. The heels are way lower than the usual larger than life platforms that I usually sport. Jeggings? Not a trend I jumped onto right away. Bubble tank? Another one I steer away from due to my ill proportioned 30E bust. BUT the Mentos moment in me forced me to step out of my comfort zone & improvisation led me to this combo, one I actually like & will explore on a more frequent basis. Having said that- everything (save the Hollister cardigan) was from WalMart. The boots are from Erge Footwear in Broward Mall. A chic bun pulled this look together as well.
*Note to self. The way to take a bubble top work for a larger bust: make it look less maternity by giving yourself a waist. Something to cinch the middle, I've found that a belt works best.

Hair: New Haircut to bring in 2012
They say that you go through a massive transformation after a breakup- a somewhat reinvention of oneself. As I find myself newly single as of late, I decided to take advantage of my company discount card that I purchased a while ago and chop my hair off.
Rik Rak is a salon in the Miami Brickell area where I had the pleasure of getting my hair cut. This salon not only has a boutique shop at the entrance, they also have a bistro where you can order food that can be delivered & eaten while in your appointment. Definetly felt like celebrity status.
Menu. Yeah my salon > your salon.
Poppin bottles while I wait for this appointment.
Here are the results!

Rant: Ridiculous Deal:Wedges, the fun alternative to pumps
Wedges are the funky cousin of pumps, hands down. I love the attitude they bring to an outfit.
I scored this pair from Mandee on Black Friday (yes, I'm blogging in retrospect- dont judge me) for all of $11 USD.
They have a snakeskin relief on the actual wedge a a faux brushed leather upper. The slope, however is incredibly deceiving as it makes me feel like I'm running around in flats! But the back is my favorite part. Reminiscent of a corset, there is a lace up featurette along the heel.
Score.
